You are bound to run into a local park while strolling through the cities. Couples are kissing by the fountain, friends are rowing along the lake, families are playing under the trees, and musicians are setting the scene.
Paella

Chocolate con Churros
There is nothing better than dipping homemade, crunchy churros into a thick, rich cup of chocolate. Plus, you're in Spain...you decide if it's breakfast, a mid-day snack, or dessert!
